Re May and June, apparently the talent pool at Bethel has gotten more shallow. The terraced rice-paddies--or whatever they are--in the background are so poorly drawn it's just an embarrassment. Reminds me of the old "My Book of Bible Stories!" artwork: setting a new low in WT publication quality.

Weird "new world" artwork from the 2013 calendar
by cedars inmy mother-in-law has a strange obsession with calendars, and orders the society's calendar each year.
this year's calendar is especially weird.
it features images depicting future events - in particular, the society's vision of the new world order.. i've taken the opportunity to scan some of the images for you all to check out.. please note - there are captions for each of the images, but i don't have the english language version of the calendar so i'd rather just quote the scripture used so as not to reveal which country i'm in.. .

Blondie, the little girl on the right in the water looks like she has a swimsuit on.
BTW, I think the shark comment was a joke!

elders wife swapping question
by unstopableravens ini hear of these stories of elders swapping wives, i remember when i was young hearing of three elders in florida doing this and getting dfed.
my question is this how is it possible to bring this up in conversation?
it seems impossible, how can there be multi elders that know each other willing and the wives?

Frankly, when I was an elder there weren't too many elders I'd have traded wives with .... btw I left my JW wife because she wouldn't leave the cult with me.
I guess my standards are just too high!

Crazy Weird Quotes in 1/15 WT Article - WT Society Opinions-Nothing More
by flipper ini won't follow a theme on this thread .
i'm just going to supply weird quotes from the current 1/15 wt article " keep drawing close to jehovah " and then you can draw your own takes and conclusions on these insane " opinions " from the wt society.. paragraph 3 : " marketers cleverly convince people that they must have the latest products.
one young man so passionately desired a particular tablet computer that he secretly sold one of his kidneys to buy it.

So apparently "researchers" in the WT Propaganda Department scour the internet (Satan's Playground) looking for news of the weird and other extreme, bizarre and abberant behavior on the part of humans and other living things in search of grist for their mill.
Look, so completely kooky person in a far-off corner of the globe did this completely crazy thing. Now we know you weren't even thinking of doing something so insanely stupid, but now that you know about it we want to caution you: Don't do it!
God loves you ... and he needs to you to stay awake at these meetings so you can learn how to spread the word. When you're not doing that, work hard (but not TOO hard) so you can earn money to give to God. Why? Because God needs money!
See the November 15th, 2012 Watchtower, page 9 for details on how you too can support God with his material needs.

Would Elders You Knew Have Ordered Stonings If They Could Have?
by Cold Steel infor those of you who used to be jws, or who are active, if the society was in charge of the earth, how many people do you think you would have seen stoned during your lifetimes?
i realize some elders can be zealous about their work, but if they'd actually had administrative authority to have kh members stoned to death, how many elders did you know who would have been zealous enough to really order them?.
did you know any elders who would have ordered stonings, even if the condemned people had been willing to repent?.

dazed but not confused and problemaddict, I can't tell if you two are being sarcastic or not, but you should never underestimate what people will do if they think God told them to do it. (See dbnf's pics above as evidence of that).
On the other hand, verbal and mental abuse is so much better than murder because you get to keep your victim(s) around for further tormenting.
Abuser like nothing better than a good, working co-dependent relationship. They need a good, steady Narcissistic supply just as surely as any herion junkie needs their fix!

A THANK YOU to the board
by Jerohobobonadad inhello again.. i just thought i'd say "thanks" to all of the contributors to this board (and other boards/ websites, but mostly to this board).. i only started looking on the internet for info on the wtbts about 2 months ago.
for years i had huge doubts about the org, but no facts to rationalise these doubts.
some individuals have obviously spent many hours going through the societies literature and researching the history of the org and made this research widely available on line.. i can only imagine what it must have been like 10 or 20 years ago if a "witness" had doubts - where would you go to find out the facts?
